After playing Villarreal on Wed. night we are scheduled to play Palace on Saturday 15:00. This can only happen in PL! Villarreal play their first match ofc on Monday - 5 days after Super Cup. Legs are tired after pre season, but no, they try to fuck us... And on top of that we will have Silva, Jorginho, Mount, Chilwell, James coming just around week before SC and after that very hard fixtures with 4 of 6 big clubs in first six rounds. Add to that most likely zero signings. I am afraid for start of the season. City also have: Spurs, Arsenal, LC, Chelsea and Liverpool in first 7 games in league after CS. Some would say Pool and United are favorable...

Ironically I expect all our attackers to step up next season... Puli, Hakim, Timo, Kai... But can our defenders keep it at this level? Silva and Azpi are veterans. Rudi and Chris have difficult contract situation...

Quality over quantity. Now sell Zouma and buy one top CB.

Sinisa Mihajlovic is the guy who promoted them and gave debuts to 18yo Locatelli and 16yo Donnarumma.

I also do not buy narrative that it is now or never. Reliable journos said that he is open to Chelsea. Why would not he choose us next summer? If that is the case AG on loan would not be the worst move.

I see similarly in them also when Kai plays number 9. I mean Kai and CR. Never seen the kid.

If it happens it will be last day. Wouldn't rule out January move as well. 120m euros should be enough in January.

Amazing job by the club. 15-20m for a player who never played in PL. I expect always a few players from the academy in the squad but I guess Guehi is not amongst them. This is why our academy is great, we can get tons of money. Tomori, Guehi, Abraham get us almost 100m. Plus we have many more. Pretty clear Ampadu is not good for us as well, sell him as well. So it is always win - win for Chelsea. Even if Billy Gilmour doesn't become what we expect nobody should care, he'll get us profit.

Spain has by far best Olympics team this year. Many players from EURO. They should won it with ease. Pau Torres also in the team so this means he wont be able to play against us. The boy played EL final, EURO now Olympics, when is his vacay?

Ter Stegen Emerson/Dest Garcia Lenglet Alba De Jong Pedri Saul Messi Aguero Depay Plus Fati, Dembele are injured now. Experience players like Pique, Busquets, Roberto, Coutinho are also still there. They should be better than last season for sure. And I agree CB is biggest problem.

Is Bruce good for Conor? @Tomo

We should be in for him.

CHO is very young and if you look his output in terms of goals and assists per minutes I think he is pretty good for his age. For me still most exciting player from the academy for the future.

Now official! Only player in both teams!

It does make sense a bit. After Liverpool won CL and PL it was clear that their circle is over and imo for Werner it made more sense to join us than them because for the future we have most exciting project. I think I said it more than a year ago. Apart from Real you don't win b2b CL. It sounds weird but if your major goal is to win trophies it does make more sense to join some exciting project over team that just won tons of trophies because naturally they will fall. By saying that I am sure Chelsea is just on the beginning with CL last season. We have most exciting team since early Roman days and if we get Haaland we would expect top trophies in years to come.

If that's the case this deal is very close. We will pay 175m, no problem. Dortmund can buy Vlahovic for like 40m and spend Haaland/Sancho money elsewhere. Vlahovic also won't be available next summer so selling Haaland now would be smart business for them. And no player is worth 100m for just one season. Plus this is most reliable source about Haaland and no surprise it comes out after EURO. We are in full offensive!

Not official yet from UEFA but every team of the tournament I saw is with him in it. Add to that previous 23 players squad UEFA announced for CL. He is definitely the only player in both teams!

Shouldn't Sarr prepare for Olympics?

😏

Is it? 5 games - 0 goals - 1 set piece assist for 4th goal against Ukraine. This is pretty much perfect measure of MM. This is how his average 5 games at Chelsea look like.

Happy with Mendy but I always wanted Donnarumma before anyone else. Such a shame.
